ah, my son had a sandbox like that--seems like yesterday. I do have great memories with a favorite cousin. Sadly, I lost touch with her about 3 years ago. But, anyway, my uncle had been in the Navy and his family retired in Woodbridge, VA, a suburb of D.C. Twice a year (once was at Easter) they would come down for a long weekend to my grandmother's house. She lived in the C_O_U_N_T_R_Y. Becky, who was 18 mos older than I, and I would walk the country roads, talk, and have sleepovers. She usually spent one of the nights at our house 30 minutes away. I remember visiting them on several occasions growing up as well. Once her parents were both gone, we lost contact. Our lives and values are totally different, but I do have good memories.

these are so CUTE!!! Loved seeing the photos of all the precious kids having fun together. I have to say the one with them all inspecting the caterpillar was realy cute/funny. I also liked the one where they're all staring at the bakery case picking out their goodies ;) :) I'm glad ou all had this chance to spend some time together :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

Love the photos! My kids did not have cousin companionship for lots of reasons but the one thing I am struck with (and what we are missing in our extended family) is how thankful you guys can be (and I am sure, are) that you can share the love of Christ with one another!

Sadly, there is an 11-year difference between myself and my oldest of my 3 cousins (all sisters!). And they lived terribly far away. But I have fond memories of them as babies and my delight at having babies around during the holidays. The oldest just graduated highschool and it makes me feel old! Glad you had a good trip.
